WE ARE EXPANDING TO SERVE YOU BETTER!
If you think of our Distribution Center as an extension of your back room, it is important to consider how this high level of staff experience and efficiency help you with your business. Merchandise orders are picked, packed and shipped to your store with pride. Our goal is to provide you with timely and accurate shipments that will help you maintain a competitive edge for your business.
As business continues to grow and our product lines continue to expand, the need for additional space has become paramount. The decision to add additional buildings to our existing Distribution Center allows us to maximize our efficiency in staffing, inventory management, and service to all of our customers.
In 2003, a new building of 130,000 square feet in size with a 50-foot corridor connecting it to our existing Distribution Center was completed. The 2003 addition is the storage area for all non-conveyable items. This brought our total capacity to 422,000 square feet of high cube, productive space. An additional 18 acres of land needed to be purchased to complete the expansion, bringing our total property to nearly 50 acres.
Business growth has continued and as we added more product lines, it became necessary to build an additional 147,000 square foot building. Completed in March of 2007, this new addition houses aerosol products, a repack area, general storage and a battery charging area. This new expansion brings the total number of acres developed to 30.
